Lifter noise?
Got a 2003 silverado with the 5.3 and im having a problem with getting rid of a noisy lifter. It doesnt do it all the time it comes and goes. Ive tried seafoam and some other additives still makes noise! any suggestions?

In one oil change, a small amount of diesel oil, less than
half a pint, may help. But you'll get a nasty diesel smell,
too.
What's the mileage on the mill, at this point? It's probably
not worth tearing the engine down. Run it till your gas mileage
starts tanking, big time, or the engine starts having bigger
problems.
Then the big question is:
1.-rebuild the old mill
2.-simply replace it with a crate engine.
